Storm Hendrik will sweep across Germany on Thursday. Hurricanes with speeds of up to 120 km / h are expected in low-lying areas. All of Germany is likely to be affected, with a storm threatening the North Sea coast on Thursday and Friday.
Hendrik will also be cruising in Switzerland, but we’re on the edge of the trough, Patrick Stirley, a meteorologist at Meteo Switzerland, told Blake.
Presumably, a level 2 wind warning will be issued on Wednesday. Means: a wind speed of 70 to 90 km/h in flat areas and 100 to 130 km/h at high altitudes. Hendrik is likely “on the top end” of these measurements, according to Sterley.
More than 130 km/h possible
In Germany, winds of up to 100 km/h can be expected from Cologne to Stuttgart early Thursday morning, Fox reports. The hurricane later reached Munich, Nuremberg, Erfurt and Leipzig. Dresden and Berlin can also be affected.
At noon, the storm in the lowlands should be strong up to 120 km / h and reach its maximum speed. From 600 meters above sea level, stronger winds are expected. According to the report, there could be “significant restrictions on rail and air traffic”. (vof)
